Frankly, I don't think people would give a damn about dyno runs if their car was getting the advertised 0-60 times...I know I don't care what my car dynos for at the moment.

I've said it before...at least some people that are having problems need an expectation adjustment. Other people have legitimate gripes and have every right in the world to complain...I don't think people should have to shell out their hard earned money 'proving' there is a problem.

iPhone apps and similar are a great, inexpensive way to indicate whether a problem is there or not. Sure, it's probably not accurate down to the .0000001 second, but irpq's iphone dumps actually tell a pretty good story, if you care to look.

I actually think the L99 doesn't have a power problem, but rather, a consistency problem. SOMETHING is making these cars weak on some runs. I think hot, humid weather compounds this...and combine that with perhaps someone getting a weaker one in the flock I could see a recipe for disaster there.
